I live in the country. It's fifteen minutes by car to anything resembling "civilization". In the summer, it's too hot to walk anywhere (except when it's raining); in the winter, snow and ice frequently make it hard to get anywhere.
I love cities. I love being around people I'd never meet in the countryside, I love being able to walk or ride the train anywhere, I love the sounds of civilization, I truly love the lights at night.
But at night, if you go out back behind my house, you can see the stars.
I've never seen the stars in a city.
